Welcome Annabelle!

Annabelle Marie arrived on Monday December 13th at 5:31 am. She weighed 7 lbs even and is 20.5 inches long.

Andrew, Mommy & Annabelle getting ready to go home soon.
(not a random picture, but part of the story)...

So in case you're living in a cave, we got a record snow fall on Saturday. This picture was taken Saturday. Ironically, we traded in the Saturn Vue on Saturday (yes, the vehicle with 4 wheel drive) and I got a new Chevy Malibu. I prayed all day Saturday that I wouldn't go into labor since the major of the city streets couldn't get plowed until Sunday. Chaska's snow fall was 21 inches. Ugh! I went into labor on Sunday afternoon, we checked into the hospital at 11pm on Sunday and Annabelle was here at 5:31 Monday morning.
Andrew is completely in love with his new little sister. All of our lives center around her. He can't wait to get home from preschool everyday and see her. He always wants to know what she's doing and what all of her noises mean. He stood up in front of his class yesterday and told everyone all about her. We were even invited to bring her in for show and tell.
Here's Daddy and Annabelle just moments after her arrival.
